Summary
There isn't a single memory, no matter how intense, that won't fade away eventually.
Her mother had told Carina exactly so during the drive down to the church. It was right after a man had been shot in the head across the street from their car. He had been seized by both wrists and, instead of taking him into custody, two soldiers had pushed him against a wall and executed him on the spot.

Summary
Right. We’re back!
After several months of behaving, briefly, like a respectable public historian — a phrase which still feels illegal in my mouth — I am returning to the subject that started this entire nonsense project: the medieval Consortium of Genoa, also known as the world’s oldest glass closet, also known as that time a warrior-king and a merchant prince accidentally built a Mediterranean superpower while everyone pretended they were just very committed to maritime reform.
For the next eight weeks, we are talking about King Nicolò II of Genoa and Prince Yusuf ibn Ibrahim Al-Kaysani, because apparently I enjoy pain, footnotes, and watching historians perform interpretive gymnastics around the word “husband.”

Modern Historians talk about Pseudo-History of Nicky being Nicolo II, King of Genoa, and Joe being Yusuf ibn Ibrahim Al-Kaysani, a Merchant (Pirate) Prince who enters a political arrangement that they refuse to call "marriage." and become "History's worst Closet!"Bookmarked by Mariyahs_Truth

Summary
“Don’t worry, it’s fine.” Nile said, the stab of guilt at ruining the night coming a little harder. Joe had been so excited when he saw the bunk beds, grinning widely as Nicky said don’t let me fall off this time.
Nicky nodded but made no motion to stand up, to return to his husband’s arms. Instead he said, “I’m awake now. Do you want to go for a drive?”
“A drive?” She looked at her watch, it wasn’t anywhere close to morning. Although the idea of getting out of their windowless room is an attractive one, she can’t deny it, “Are you sure?”
In which: Nile is having trouble sleeping, and Nicky likes to drive.
